LOS ANGELES – Reggie Williams did not get many opportunities to contribute significantly in either of his previous two NBA stops, but that likely won’t be the case for him on his fifth different team overall. The southpaw shooting guard, who joined New Orleans (7-16) officially Saturday at the squad’s shootaround this morning, will need to be ready to play immediately, given that the Pelicans are expected to have a maximum of 10 players available against the Clippers tonight (9:30 p.m. Central, Fox Sports New Orleans, WRNO 99.5 FM).
Three players are already out for New Orleans, while two others (a recent starting backcourt tandem of Jrue Holiday and E’Twaun Moore) are not expected to play due to toe injuries.
